Verbatim clone+copy install worked cleanly: valid frontmatter and the single referenced file (references/details.md, 473 lines of WCAG checklists, remediation snippets, axe-core/Playwright examples) present and substantive; no hidden API keys, only free tooling mentioned. Description is well-scoped to accessibility auditing and remediation, and the docs are honest (explicitly notes automated tools catch only 30-50% of issues). A/B on a signup-form audit was a wash: both arms found 9 correctly-cited violations with equivalent fixes, each missing one the other caught — the skill arm missed 2.5.8 Target Size (new in WCAG 2.2, absent from the skill's own reference), so the skill adds structure but no measurable lift over base-model WCAG knowledge.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 4/5
- Output vs. baseline 5/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
